Rewind with Karen & Georgia - 96: Live at the Hard Rock in Orlando

In this special live episode of My Favorite Murder, Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark revisit their 96th episode, 'Live at the Hard Rock in Orlando,' reflecting on their 2017 show while performing it live in the same venue. The episode is a nostalgic, chaotic, and emotionally rich tapestry of memories, humor, and true crime storytelling. They recount their road trip from Tampa, their visit to an antique mall where they found a haunting 1950s Lady Buxton jewelry box (which they gifted to a fan), their encounters with a bleeding child in the hotel lobby, and a woman who claimed to have the same box from her childhood. The core of the episode features two deep dives into infamous female serial killers: Judy Buenoano, the 'Black Widow Killer' who poisoned multiple men in a calculated, decades-long spree, and Eileen Wuornos, the troubled sex worker turned murderer whose story is layered with trauma, survival, and tragic complexity. The hosts explore the psychological underpinnings of both women, balancing empathy with horror, and reflect on how their own lives and careers mirror the themes of identity, survival, and the dark side of human nature. The episode culminates in a hometown murder story from audience member Kristen, who shares a chilling cold case from the 1970s involving a murdered fiancée and a killer disguised as a loyal friend. The show closes with a heartfelt thank you to the audience, celebrating the unique bond between hosts and fans forged through true crime and shared vulnerability.
